Tiger eye is a golden-brown, chatoyant, siliceous fibre vein, rich in quartz and iron oxides, usually with some riebeckite. Originally it was thought to be a pseudomorph of crocidolite formed by the silica replacement of crocidolite (riebeckite) fibres. Another more recent theory suggests the veins formed as fibrous quartz crystals with interspersed hematite and riebeckite fibres, growing rapidly from the surrounding rocks during low grade metamorphism.

OPALISED WOOD POLISHED
A striking Australian Opalised Wood Polished. This is a full slice end of the tree featuring defined areas. This slice end is polished on one side to make a great display piece for the home. The back of the wood slice end remains natural and unpolished. Petrified wood is extremely hard and dense, hence the weight. It is always surprising to pick these us and see how heavy they are. Now you can add to your existing petrified wood or fossils collection with this great Aussie piece. An ancient treasure.

CHRYSOPRASE SLAB LEMON
Beautiful Chrysoprase Slab Lemon Aussie stone. An amazing colour for a stone of light Lemon shades. Usually reserved for jewellers, quality specimens like this are hard to come by and attract high prices. The slab is good thickness and looks great. A great Aussie Gemstone. This is a good specimen for collection, but I think it will be made into jewellery. This material is called Lemon Chrysoprase and seldom seen available to buy. The slab has been tumble polished.
This material was fossicked many years ago.
